Question

When there is a reduction in amplitude over every cycle of vibration, then the body is said to have

• A. free vibration
• B. forced vibration
• C. damped vibration
• D. logarithmic decrement

Hint:

Understanding different types of vibrations and their characteristics can help in designing better mechanical systems that are robust against unwanted oscillations.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Damped vibration occurs when the amplitude of vibration decreases over time, typically due to the dissipative forces such as friction or resistance that convert mechanical energy of the oscillation into heat or other forms of energy.
